I made bagels last week and used your recipe & did make 1 change to the boil, I added the baking soda & also added malt syrup, about 1/4 c and it definitely added more flavor….THEY WERE AMAZING!!! (Little bubbles all over the outside after baking) I tried several years ago to make bagels and they turned out awful (more cake like), not at all how NY bagels are supposed to be & to let you know just how yummy & appreciative I am, my sons girlfriend doesn't like everything bagels, butter (I also made your homemade butter) or cream cheese on them but THESE CONVERTED HER, SHE LOVED THEM & asked if I'll show her how to make the next time!!! 1 question: what's the best way to freeze them? Before baking or after & the best results for reheating after being frozen? If you could include that info in your vids it would be very helpful & greatly appreciated! I love these vids!!!
What is the affect of lye when making bagels?
Why not a ginger raisin bagel?
Would love to see an episode on beans.
Hey im sorry. But i notice your lips is.. urmm.. i dont know the word for english. But its kinda "pulled" to the left? Is that something to worry about? Did you had a stroke ? Or is that just the way you talk? Im sorry if its a bit sensitive for you.
Make a what's eating Dan about different kinds of flour and how to use them
Dan, I just discovered this series today from your "Why We Crush" article, and I had to watch every episode back to back. Thanks so much for the recipes, techniques, and science! I'll not only be watching all these again while taking notes that I will always keep in mind in the future, but I'm going to dust off my copy of The Science of Good Cooking and put those lessons to better use.
I hope you and everyone find some use and enjoyment out of my homemade whipped butter for making grilled cheese, burger buns, etc., which I posted on the grilled cheese episode.
Best wishes with Season 2, and thanks again!
Did you increase the PH of the baking soda by roasting it first?
Good job answering the questions, Dan. Looking forward to Season 2 (and I hope the wait is not long!)
Pizza?
Love These Videos, Thanks
maybe try real hard to start using the other side of your lip when you talk to give it exercise… maybe it will balance things out…
Sucks that Babish got sick. I was wondering why his appearance was so limited. Ah, well. Next time!
Sodium bicarbonate? Malt syrup? Aren’t you moving the ph around which you presented as the basic difference between NYC and BOS water?
So according to you New York water and Boston water taste more or less the same. But I remember when I was in college in Southern Pennsylvania I couldn't drink water straight out of the tap because the high iron content made it taste like blood to my young and sheltered New England tongue. But if you were to use a tap water with that high of an iron or other metal content would it make any difference in your experience?
Made fresh bagels for the first time bc of your bagel videos!! Never buying bagels from the store again 😋😋😋
So grateful! Thank you
This was a weird video. What were you talking about?
I don't know why hut I enjoyoy every bit of n.y. toasted bread spite the rude waiter
Just subscribed due to the Babish vid. I Had lost track of ATK after Christopher Kimball went off to do Milk Street. Was happy to discover the YouTube content.
Would love to see a making Haggis episode.
Montreal Bagels are Amazing! Cumin seeded woodfired bagels, WOW!
THANK YOU FOR NOT FILMING NEXT TO THE ELEVATOR
I was just watching ATK with my wife and We both agreed that Dan needs his own show…
Cut to few days later and you pop up with Babish, and I find out you already have your own show I’m just slacking
So cool binged the whole 1st season
I"m a new subscriber, so you may have already done an episode. But something with Sean Evans of Hot Ones would be cool. Incorporating spiciness to your foods etc
I love how intelligent you are.. 🙂 your videos are so informative!
Heart you!! 💘
I'm actually going to try making bagels as soon as I get my malt syrup. I've been too intimidated until now.
Adding Raisins?
Dude, you don't want a bagel, you want a donut.
Thanks for these! Seriously can’t get enough
Thanks for clearing the air on the Montreal bagel! Good to know this was a NY focused video. Keep up the good work! 👍
Cool I'll be looking for the next video.
Please get a mic. You can use your phone's earbud mic. The audio + content = Zzzzz😴
